Hi I’m quite new to the Shopify API and APIs in general, and I’m trying to create a load of smart_collections that includes products whose tags match the collection titles. I have this: curl -d '{"smart_collection":{"title":"Test","rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Test"}]}…

Hey @PaulCutcliffe , Just wanted to confirm if you are using this doc as a guide ? Have you tested a GET or PUT request using this API? From the info shared, the only think noticed was that the cURL requests examples from our docs appear to be using slightly different info than the examples your sha…

Hi Thanks for coming back to me regarding my issue. To answer your question, yes - I looked at this doc and that’s how I came up with the Curl commands. I am using slightly different information from that used in the example - after all, my website doesn’t sell iPods! ? But other than catching pr…

Hey @PaulCutcliffe , Took another look after your reply, tested this request with an API client to confirm, and everything worked fine. So I started comparing for differences between the requests, and noticed a lack of Content-Type header in the cURL request examples from our docs (and used thus fa…

That’s really interesting and encouraging because I stumbled across the same idea and added the very same content-type header so now I have this: curl -d '{"smart_collection":{"title":"Accounting","rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Accounting"}]}}' -X POST "https://{my-websit…

Hey @PaulCutcliffe , there may to be a few backslashes "" missing from your request, so I wanted to share the body I used: curl -d '{"smart_collection":{"title":"IPods","rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"starts_with","condition":"iPod"}]}}' \ -X POST "https://your-development-store.myshopify.co…

I’m sorry - would you mind showing me exactly what I would need to add to the curl command to pass on an x-request-id response header returned with the B****ad Request error? Thanks.

And as for the backslashes, I don’t believe they’re part of the code - they just indicate that you should continue the code on the same line. If I post a command on more than one line with backslashes between, it just treats each new line as a new command, thereby breaking the previously unfinished…

Ah, don’t worry - I think I’ve sussed the X-Request-ID header thing. I just ran this command: curl -d '{"smart_collection":{"title":"Accounting","rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Accounting"}]}}' -X POST "https://{my-website}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/smart_collection…

Hey @PaulCutcliffe , there may have been some confusion my last request, and also hadn’t realized you were still testing by way of the app. When testing for API errors, I generally use an API client or cURL directly to remove any potential for configuration errors as well to help streamline the trou…

Yes, thanks - I understood and did that in my last post, and I used this x-request-id: -H "x-request-id: cutcliffe-smart_collection-issue" I look forward to hearing what’s wrong - thanks.
